SALMON CANNING.
Methods Employed in Preparing Fish
the Markets of the World.

Methods Employed in Preparing Fish for
the Markets of the World.
In preparing salmon for canning the
fish are dressed of fins, heads and en-
trails at the rate of /, 500 to 2, 900 a dav
by each man. They 90 through three
washings and ceanings, and are cut by
a machine into lengths just the height
of can. These pieces are each sliced
lengthwise into several pieces. The
men who do the filing press the pieces
as compactly into the cans as possible;
Chinese will fill 1000 cans in q day.
The filled cans are then taken to the
washing machine, where they are rap
idly revolved under spray of warm
water and are rubbed with sponge at
the same time, after which they are
wiped dry with pieces of netting.
In the crimper the edge of the cover
is crimped and the cans then roll across
brick soldering furnace. the ends
passing through trough of melted
solder This machine and furnace will
dispose of 10000 cans day and over.
The completeness of the operation is
tested by examination and immersion
in hot water, and, if no further solder
ing is necessary, the cans are immersed
again for an hour and twenty minutes
in caldron of boiling water, after
watch they are again tested by being
tapped on the top by small wooden
mallct, imperfection being indicated by
the sound. The good ones are pune
tured to let the hot air esc&pe and are
Immediately sealed up again.
The cans are now rolled on track
into an iron retort and cooked by steam
for an hour and fifteen minutes They
are next plunged into vat of hot I've.
to remove every particle of grease, and
are immersed in tank of cold water
until they are perfectly cool. The final
testing is made by two men who both
tap each can with large steel nail,
their trained ears detecting any wrong
sound. Food canned with all this care
IS in no way unit for eating - Good
Housekeeping.

ROTATION OF CROPS.
Valuable Experiments Made on the Mis-
souri, Agricultural College Farm.

souri, Agricultural College Farm.
Prof. j. W. Sanborn, of the Missouri
Agricultural College, in bulletin
lately issued, reporting experiments in
crop rotation, gives the following
which are valuable upon the philosophy
of rotation:
Rotations are valuable because plants
vary in the area of the soil in which the
roots grow, and from which they derive
the sustenance of the plant, thus more
completely utilizing the soil within
their reach.
There is a remarkable variation in
the power of plants to appropriate the
various elements of plant growth, due,
at least in part, to the character of the
acids secreted by their roots. Thus
one plant, like clover, has high power
of gathering nitrogen, and another, like
wheat, very low power.
Plants vary in their weight of roots,
as an illustration clover. carrying sew
eral times the weight of roots that
wheat does, it will be seen that, mas
much as clover roots are very much
richer in nitrogen than wheat, and
carry enough nitrogen to grow crop
of wheat, that wheat will most advan-
tageously follow clover. Thus, like
wise, other plants follow each other
advantageously.
Rotation Of crops battles, in large
measure, the root enemies, both insect
and fungus, that prey upon them. Each
plant having its own peculiar enemies,
changing of plants removes them to
fields unoccupied by such enemies.
This is true of the above-ground growth
of plants to an important degree.
Plants vary in the amounts of the
varying elements of nutrition actually
taken up in growth; thus, while wheat
takes only one and one-fourth pounds
of potash for every pound of phosphorus
acid, potatoes take three and one
fourth pounds of potash for each
pound of phosphoric acid. Con-
tinuous growth of potatoes would
exhaust the potash of the soil or
of supplied manure long before the
phosphoric acid would give out.
The leaves of plants vary in their
power of gaining food and of vaporizing
water, and are roughly divided into
broad and narrowed ieaved.
Leaves vary in their season of active
growth. Those plants maturing in
midsummer and early fall generally
gather nitrogen (corn and turnips are
good examples,) following in their
growth the decomposing influence of
the sun, more easily and fully than
other crops do.
Rotation conserves soil fertility and
yet aids in soil decomposition by alter
nation of grass, OF cover crops and hoed
crops. Under a continuation of pillow
and tillage crops, teaching, volatiliza-
ton and washing of fertility is rapid
and may be or is moro than carried
away by crops, especially so of nitrogen.
Rotation of crops distributes labor
over the year, and therefore economies
labor and gives regular help and aids
in the solution of the labor problem of
the farm.-Farn,, Field and Stocbnaan.

10 Make Cologne Water.

Most of the cologne water sold by the
druggists is very poor stuff, cheaply
made and not worth smelling of. A
recipe for making a really good though
comparatively expensive article, is thus
given: Thoroughly dissolve a fluid
dram OF the oils of bergamot, orange
and rosemary each, with half dram of
neroli, and pint of rectifed (cologne)
spirit. Another recipe is to mix with
one pint of rectifed spirits two fluid
drains each of the oils of bergamot and
lemon, one of the oil of orange, with
three quarters of dram of neroli, and
four drops of the essences of ambergris
and musk. If afterwards distilled, this
is said to be a perfect cologne; but it
becomes exceedingly fine by being
tightly stoppered for two or three
months to ripen and mellow before use.
